New Face of European Far-right: Femonationalism as a Tool for Anti-migration in EU and Beyond

The European far right has gained prominence in many countries due to factors such as migrant crises, economic challenges, and the war in Ukraine. Once on the political margins, these parties have begun playing key roles in governments and coalition-building after electoral successes. This article explores how female leaders and other political figures of far-right parties in Europe and beyond incorporate feminist and queer elements into their nationalist rhetoric, showcasing how femo-nationalism increases epistemic injustice. Through case studies from EU member states and Turkey, which is under EU accession process, it examines how these discourses are reflected in media and politics. By critiquing identity politics within feminism, the study lays the groundwork for future research on the growing influence of femo-nationalism and homo-nationalism amid the rise of far-right movements.
